UK government/industry develop package for sustainment of Challenger 2 capability

Article Abstract:

The UK Ministry of Defence is considering Germany's Euro Pack, which combines MTU's 883 diesel with an HSWL 296 transmission, as a possible 'spend-to-save' measure for British Army's Challenger 2 tank fleet. The change of powerpack is one of a number of enhancements made as a part of the capability support package (CSP) that is being developed by government and industry to sustain the Challenger 2 fleet, which is expected to remain in service until 2035.
